John Wheeler of Fleet Street proposed Society for Constitutional Information 23.3.1792 by Michael Bush 2nded Doctor Edwards
John Wheeler hosier 150 Fleet Street directories 1790, 1791 Land Tax 1790-1798. I couldn't identify his family or his career before or after those years, his name was a common one. The premises at 150 Fleet St were occupied until 1790 by John Baguley hatter & hosier and from 1798 by Robert Pettit and by 1807 by Sarah & Elizabeth Pettit hosiers & glovers. The adjacent premises at 151 Fleet St were occupied from 1783 to 1793 by Richard Wheeler upholder, who moved there from 26 Ivy Lane, Newgate St (Gazetteer 3.7.1783). He may have been the Richard Wheeler upholder 0f 135 Fleet St, in partnership with William Jellicoe there from 1772 (Public Advertiser 15.2.1772) until 1780 (Morning Chronicle 18.5.1780). Richard Wheeler upholder of Fleet St went bankrupt in 1793 and quickly gained his certificate, his name remained in the Land Tax books until 1798 for the premises next to 151 Fleet St in Bolt Court. The will PCC 1799 of Richard Wheeler upholder of Bolt Court mentioned his wife Sarah and was witnessed by Edward Martin, so he was probably the Richard Wheeler who married Sarah Martin at St Augustine Watling St in 1781, but I found nothing to connect him with John Wheeler except living next door. At Bolt Court in 1801 there was also Thomas Wheeler apothecary and his widowed mother Susanna, whose husband Thomas Wheeler apothecary left a will PCC 1770 mentioning his four sons William, Thomas, James Rivington and Peter, all except Peter were still alive in 1817 (Hertfordshire Archives DE/X982/75986 & 76060). The will PCC 1822 of John Wheeler upholsterer (= upholder) of St Paul's Churchyard left all to his uncle James Wheeler, surgeon of Wokingham, Berks who lived till 1851, see his will PCC 1851. Despite these coincidences of name address and occupation, I found no evidence of relationship between these different families. There were also John Wheeler and John Willey, linen drapers of 67 Fleet St SunFire insurance 1812, John Wheeler linen draper of Fleet St went bankrupt 1813, and John Wheeler victualler of the Old Cheshire Cheese, Fleur de Lys Court, Fleet St SunFire insurance 1815.
